VMware Announces New Release

Enterprise Networks & Servers, Mar 2004

VMware has released GSX Server 3, the latest release of its enterprise-class virtual infrastructure software. Designed for enterprise IT administrators who want to consolidate servers and streamline development and testing operations, GSX Server offers full support for Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms.

"Without GSX Server, we would probably have at least 85 more servers than we do now since it's so hard to run more than one application on a system. Now, we can set up a new virtual machine in a couple of minutes instead of the several hours it takes for a physical server, and our end users never notice because performance is not compromised," said Ryan Goessling, systems software specialist at CaIPERS, the nation's largest public pension fund and the third largest in the world with assets totaling more than $167 billion.

VMware GSX Server simplifies computing infrastructure by partitioning and isolating servers in secure and transportable virtual machines, each of which can run standard Windows, Linux or NetWare operating systems and applications. GSX Server allows these virtual machines to be remotely managed, automatically provisioned and standardized on a secure, uniform platform.
